To continue on my high-horse, why are we plastered with pics of people who are arrested but we get a story about a missing child or specific wanted person without pics? Who cares what someone looks like after they are arrested. We need the pics of the missing child or a wanted person. If those pics are not offered to the media, they should do that investigative thing and get one or more. Telling us they were blonde and wearing a red shirt and blue jeans doesn't do much when a huge number of people wear that and people can easily change clothes, lose the hat, etc.
